hunt-general

[lofty parrot]

Short Question 😄

How? xD

[hazy crest]

Go close to them and you’ll point the shot at them instead of yourself

[deep snow]

This little hole is not wall

U can "wallbang" this with everything

[lofty parrot]

Dats not what I meant but y u r right

I played it even in slowmo
For me I was 100% in his head for the first sure and still veeeery close in in on the second shot

Dunno how this was no Kill

[deep snow]

Oh

No

[lofty parrot]

U mean close Range fights? 😄

[deep snow]

Tbh u are not on him

[lofty parrot]

Last frame before the shot
Its pretty hard in the head xD

[plucky reef]

I haven't played in a few months and was thinking of coming back but the idea of people just having powder kegs + alert tripmines is REALLY turning me off. How bad and common is it really?

[deep snow]

N

[hazy crest]

It seems like your bullets are not making it through the mesh for some reason

[deep snow]

Last frame

[hazy crest]

The spark is the no pen spark

[deep snow]

And the guy mooving

So u are not on him unlucky ahaha

[light sky]

If you are unaware kind of Hunter, prob will die to them

[lofty parrot]

Ppl use them quite rarely
Cuz most times in close quarter the stumble over their own traps

There are way other things to worry about 😄

[light sky]

As a trapper, I enjoy the kegs so much but at the same time I know how to counter them and don't die to them lol

[plucky reef]

I just despise the kind of gameplay that traps cause, especially when they get instantly lethal

With static kegs it was fine

But portable ones are a major mistake imo

[light sky]

Meh, trapping is part of a Hunter

You see we are "Hunters"

[whole mist]

As a trapper main, it’s really not that strong if a whole lobby uses vigilant

[lofty parrot]

Yeah dats why I thought

U see the "Impact crater" so big? No way I hit the wall behind him with such big craters

Soooo those mesh windows are still bugeed yes?

[light sky]

Not soldiers, people with honor, heroes

Just hunters

[plucky reef]

Sorry mate i don't care about honour, i just want to have fun

[lofty parrot]

But Basilino is right there

[plucky reef]

And having to watch every corner i turn is not very fun gameplay for me

[light sky]

You can have fun, people don't owe you anything either tho

[whole mist]

Vigilant grrrrrr

[light sky]

They are having fun on their own way

[plucky reef]

Dude i didn't want to enter this conversation that has been had on the internet countless times since multiplayer games have been a thing

I just don't like it

And was asking how bad and common it was

[lofty parrot]

I Love to get inside a small house and snipe out of it
IF I get killed - most ppl rush to me to not let me necro
Cuz they rush i so hard they mostly dont see the trap and the small keg
They enter - they die - i necro 😄

[light sky]

You can't drop a discussion topic and say you don't want to discuss smh

[lofty parrot]

U always have cuz shottys

[light sky]

But yeah, just play and enjoy the event.

[plucky reef]

If you want to hide in a bush and trap everything suit yourself. If the game encourages that too much and it's too common it's just not a game for me anymore, that simple

[lofty parrot]

Maybe try NA server? Seems like they do wild shootings there with no hiding and only pushing 😄

[light sky]

NA servers? Impossible

[deep snow]

Maybe dont camp everyfight

It's a game if u die in the game u dont die irl

And funny how these people can camp everytime and have 1.3kda ahahah

[whole mist]

I also think trapping doesn’t really promote camping. It’s more something you place down when running through compounds, rather than sitting in a bush where nobody is going to step on them

[plucky reef]

Oh well i guess that the amount of people here defending traps speaks volumes about how bad they will be, maybe i'll wait out the event and see what happens with them before coming back

[light sky]

Trapping is not really camping

At least not my case

[lofty parrot]

What u mean? WIth NA I mean US East and West

[deep snow]

Yeah trapping the whole compound and doing nothing

It's sad

[plucky reef]

Trapping is not camping but, to me, is just as unfun to face if not actually worse

[whole mist]

People will do anything except take a 1 pt trait

[light sky]

I mean, stalemate are gonna happen despite traps or not. People won't peak/push and put themselves into disadvantage

[lofty parrot]

Say it to those 24/7 building and bush shotty campers 😄

[light sky]

Trapping allows to funny kills+getting advantage when people push so the whole team attack

[deep snow]

Yeah but if u dont peak u do what?

[light sky]

(or kill your teammates with them)

[deep snow]

Waiting 45min inside

I think they just need to bring back the old mmr

Or fix it

[light sky]

I don't get headshot by a Mosin holding the angle

[deep snow]

Because see people with less than 1.5kda in 6star is a little crazy

[deep snow]

ahahaha just headshot him

be quicker

[light sky]

If you care about KDA that much...

Yeah

[whole mist]

k/d in hunt lol

[light sky]

I just like having fun with, you know, a Videogame

[deep snow]

yeah

But how u can have fun

[lofty parrot]

Well sometimes its all u can do

Let´s say u play solo mid/long range loadout
U spawen and Bounty compund
U can kill it but u r not silent and not fast
Also u cant cover all entries with traps
So what to do?
Trap the compound and wait for teams to arrive and attack them when its BEST for u

ez

[deep snow]

When people can wait 45min inside with traps?🤣

[light sky]

Just push them

[deep snow]

Push?

Push 3 shotguns inside taking line

Man

[light sky]

That's what we do

[whole mist]

If you’re waiting outside a compound for 45min…..idk what to tell ya

[lofty parrot]

True
Same reason I mostly leave the game when I see fog or rain 😄

[light sky]

See, now you are part of the stalemate problem

[deep snow]

Yeah push and go back go lobby in less than 1minute

[light sky]

You won't push bc you are afraid

[mild flower]

Use your consumables, explosives, hive bombs, wallbang, use tarot cards, stalker beetles..

[light sky]

And being in the disadvantage

That's my point

[whole mist]

Wall bangs have left the chat

[mild flower]

You cant just push without using utility or strategy first.

[deep snow]

U make wallbang they call cheaters ahahah even in 6*

But i think in 6 3 people can old some line to not push in, it's easy

[whole mist]

It’s funny seeing both sides of this convo.
1.) smh boss lair campers

2.) smh these long ammo campers sitting outside boss lair

[light sky]

Yup

Classic Hunt

[deep snow]

i take peak, wallbang, trying toi play them

but when they camp with shotgun inside, concertina everything trickt to do smth

Even with wallbang:)

[whole mist]

it’s soooo satisfying killing that sort of team

[deep snow]

yeah i know i know

but u know, so easy to keep line inside with every weapon, mosin, crossbow shotgun...

u cant really push this

[lofty parrot]

There is still a big diff in WHAT u can do either u r playing solo or in team

[deep snow]

Because concertina, teams, poison everything

[deep snow]

When u play solo u tag guys with lessmmr

Tbh it's way simple to outplay them

U kill one, the 2 other guys are doing a lot of mistake because of the panic

[lofty parrot]

Long ammo campers?
I see long ammo with scope in maybe every 4th match
Counterwise I see 4-6 Shottys in EVERY match 😄

Most camping snipers I see are using silent or medium ammo

[lofty parrot]

Which Region u r playing?

[deep snow]

long ammo!= Snipers

[deep snow]

eu

[lofty parrot]

lol no 😄

[lofty parrot]

Then I want ur lobbies dude
Sadly they most times DONT panic in my matches
When I headshot the first most times the rest instantly look for cover and try to wait, cover rev or push me form cover from 2 sides

[deep snow]

5.5mmr match lobby mostly of the Time in solo

What can i said😭

[lofty parrot]

Sounds like fun

[deep snow]

But i dont play solo a lot

I play solo in clash sometimes, i want kill ahah

Running the whole map is boring a little

[whole furnace]

Frame before the first shot

Frame before second shot

[lofty parrot]

Still look at the impact @hazy crest was right
Seems like my shoots didnt went through

[whole furnace]

Chicken wire might do the sparks particles, but they don't block bullets

As far I am aware

[tall canopy]

Hahahaha nice xD ur curse is over, u r free to change it 😄

[short halo]

They dont. Not even poison or dum dum

[peak cave]

I just had a session where I don’t think I versed a SINGLE shotgun at all

[deep fog]

Every round I play had a shotgun in

Because I bring it

Hunts shotguns absolutely slap and they are unreasonably fun to use

[stoic pendant]

I bought a Carolina reaper pepper 🌶️ tried it…

Almost died

[deep fog]

Yesh they'll do that

They're kinda spicy

[high stump]

https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/wirtschaft/spieleentwickler-crytek-achterbahnfahrt-nach-corona-hoch-accg-110732137.html for the german speaking.

[light sky]

Huh?

[high stump]

something about how they moved the HQ to Frankfurt

and how the relaunch wasn't as successful as they hoped

[sinful aurora]

huh, i thought they were already located in Frankfurt hmmm

[high stump]

dunno, i just found it randomly recommended by google and thought i share it

[light sky]

They were, is a new office tho idk German geography

[high stump]

its from yesterday

[light sky]

Interesting article tho

[sinful aurora]

ah maybe they moved from one office in frankfurt to a new office in frankfrut.

[deep fog]

I thought they were in hamburg originally?

[sinful aurora]

interesting it says Crysis 4 is "parked" not cancelled.

[light sky]

Yeah the article mention some place they moved closer to

[whole furnace]

I mean, that makes it sound like it was just not reaching people vs. the reality that the re-launch was super borked lol

[high stump]

maybe not long lasting success like they hoped

[light sky]

At least we moved from those dark times

This year been pretty good for Hunt

[whole furnace]

Well, 2.0 and the half year that followed it was some abyssmal changes and also buggy as fuck

[deep fog]

The new engine had so many issues on launch it was really problematic

Ans the UI

The UI changes put me off more than anything

[high stump]

i recently saw a video made close to the original launch. THAT looked ugly

[lavish moon]

The performance was really bad aswell

Even for good PCs

[deep fog]

There was severe and game breaking bugs with shadows as well for people on specific cards

[sinful aurora]

they used the phrase "suboptimal" in the article which for me as a native speaker says they know it was borked, they just don't want to get into it in the article.

[deep fog]

Im talking like people would go into shadow and it was like they merged into vantablack

[whole furnace]

I will say this in the kindest way, but Crytek that usually struggles just getting one update out, it was wild they thought they could do in one patch:

• New Engine
• New UI
• New Event
• New Balance overhaul
• New Wild target

[deep fog]

Yeah

[whole furnace]

Without it crashing and burning

[deep fog]

They did way too much at once

[mild flower]

Wasnt 2.0 also the release of the spear in its broken state

And they instantly gave it skins

[deep fog]

Spear was the event before i think

But people clocked it was busted immiediately

[mild flower]

Also new map

[tall canopy]

Spear released before 2.0

[deep fog]

Crytek balanced it by then making all the melee weapons 1 slot

[mild flower]

It was an omen.

[light sky]

Yeah, spear released on a mid-event patch

[deep fog]

The real omen of poor choices was the previous set of events with death cheat being easily available and busted regen or recovery traits

[light sky]

Actually, was it even during an event?

[tall canopy]

Was it even during the event or just during vanilla hunt with the Viking skins?

[light sky]

I think was just during regular hunt period

Yeah

[tall canopy]

Ye

[mild flower]

Is this why they don't want to do updates outside of new events anymore? They traumatized themselves with spear

[bright plover]

Genuine question. Do people enjoy bounty clash? I feel like it brings out the worst in people, the amount of rats in cornfields with silencers is infuriating. You have a nice fight, but then boom, a guy from 56 meters away headshots you, over and over, 4 fucking games, each time I die to a guy 30+ meters away with a silencer.

[sinful aurora]

the problem is also doing it to a life service game where people actively wait and ask for updates. different than launching a fresh game were you don't have an existing playerbase to lose if you have to delay more. Just very difficult, they probably would have had to delay it another year, but the players would have rioted. it was already bad when it was delayed and there wasn't much new content for a while.

[bright plover]

(at least I got the throw hammer or run achievement, but man, I'm still disappointed)

[tall canopy]

I played 3 matches bc and then never again

I would play it if it was random hunter plus random loadout

[mild flower]

Clash is always a crownfest for me

And hunting bow

[sinful aurora]

i like bounty clash, but it's a heavy money drain and i never can find teammates for clash, so i don't play it.

[bright plover]

Like I don't really mind third partying as an idea, I think that's part of the skill to position properly to never get sandwiched, and I don't mind shotguns much, but the rats that don't engage beyond sniping from a safe distance are just not fun.

[deep fog]

People didn't specifically want a new engine, they wanted bug fixes and UI fixes

I don't think at any point people have been like "man hunt is so bad solely because its running on an older cryengine"

[tall canopy]

The noone asked for it argument I weird for everything

[sinful aurora]

i haven't said that they wanted a new engine lol.

[mild flower]

I wish hunt would just stop rolling out skins and events and have a sort of TLC time period.

[deep fog]

No but thats what they did

[light sky]

TLC?

[deep fog]

Tender Loving Care

[lofty parrot]

Then its even weirder 😄

[bright plover]

and in bounty hunt you can at least run away from these rats, BC has too small of a map.

[mild flower]

Tender loving care

Basically just focus on the health of the game and fix their shit

[deep fog]

Basically time to get it working flawlessly

[light sky]

So you mean this whole year?

[mild flower]

Not that the game is bad rn

[light sky]

Lmao

[mild flower]

If that's what they're doing maybe it says something that I haven't noticed xd

[deep fog]

I quit due to the state of the game at poat malones murder circus feat post malone and a year later the game is much better

[light sky]

This year started with Operation Health and continued til now even. (this is the first event that doesn't feel like filler)

[deep fog]

Like it gets more than 30 fps now and the UI is marginally better

[light sky]

Well, as someone that is pretty much very invested into the game, I noticed

[deep fog]

And some of the QOL changes have been insane

[lofty parrot]

Prefer this over having at least 1 shotty inside of every building in the compound

[sinful aurora]

skins is what brings in the money, they literally can't do that.
also 3D artists don't fix bugs, at best they can fix issues with models and animations. and there aren't any major issues with those.

[light sky]

Theres no way to compare the game rn to how It was 2 years ago even

[mild flower]

This is fair enough, thanks

I completely forgot about that

[bright plover]

Yeah it is a money drain, I earned like 25 dollars in these 4 games. And I got like 4-6 kills in 3 of them (solo vs trios), only once I died without doing much. And as you can imagine I burned through like 4k, I'm down to 1,2k dollars.

[high stump]

event bring in players and therefore money. what i dont like is the long delay until bugs are fixed. like currently the deathcheat bug

[sinful aurora]

no problem, forgetting things can happen, it happens to me all the time

[mild flower]

It just seems crazy to me that the game is in an event 90% of the time and it makes it hard to believe they're focusing on the general health of the base game. Is there a separate team for events or something?

[light sky]

They focused on balance and fixing a lot of bugs this year, dropping filler events to keep player engagement and keep getting incomes to maintain the game.

[bright plover]

While I understand some people might not enjoy shotguns, you can always cut off their escape paths. Just run inbetween them and the extraction, usually you'll be able to catch the shotgun users in the open field (unless they're diehard camping, then yeah it's infuriating as well).

Against long ammo with silencers, especially in bounty clash, I don't see a way out yet.

[light sky]

Hence why past events were content short

[deep fog]

Yeah

The last year they have 100% fixed a lot of stuff

[sinful aurora]

they have been working on the bug for a while, if it's not fixed yet might mean it's not an easy fix.

[mild flower]

Catching shotgun users in an open field would be great if not for the qm shorty meta meaning they all have mosins in their other pocket

[lofty parrot]

Well there are still some skins which are sooooo much more stealthie than the majority of the game
And it´s sad to keep them behind DLC´s instead of making the able to be bought with ingame money like most of them

[deep fog]

Ehhh

Most aren't that bad anymore

[mild flower]

Isn't reptilian available for blood bonds?

[lofty parrot]

U have 1,2k total money left?

[deep fog]

I think the not-reptillian is, the scaled ward or whatever it is

[high stump]

its just annoying because its something most players have noticed but last patch had things which only happened for a small amount of players

[mild flower]

Yeah, he is about as stealthy imo

[compact sinew]

Rat Cowards

[sinful aurora]

mostly they just changed the length of events, content wise they are the same or even lighter this year.
idk anything about how they are organized internally. but safe to assume that there is more job types than just 3D artists which can not freely assigned to fixing bugs.
there is also the challenge to keep the playerbase with at least some minimal content updates which they have done for the first half of this year to focus on bug fixes.
the problem is that players move on to other games without new content/events.

[lofty parrot]

Not if they have 2 braincells - especially as solo
Most maps dont have far and wide spaces to snipe or ambush them
In most of my games they (trio) just camp it out and only leave when all nearbies are dead or fighting eachother and just run
This extracion camping is far more "annoying" than usefull
Either they scan u and just push u with 3 or they just turn and go another

[mild flower]

Tysm for your detailed and respectful answers

[lofty parrot]

Btw the ONLY long ammo silence is Sparks

[deep fog]

I wonder how maps are done in hunt

[lofty parrot]

Nah just the worse skin of him

[deep fog]

The best way to keep people interested is new gameplay, the easiest way to get that is new maps

[lofty parrot]

He is stealthey yes but not as much as reptilian

[deep fog]

If community mapmaker tools were available I bet they could give them a balance pass and run monthly maps from the community

[mild flower]

Iirc scaled warrior is smaller-looking, but has slightly more contrasting details

[mild flower]

Krag silencer

[sinful aurora]

it frustrates me too because death cheat is such a good trait spoiled by a bug.
The thing is that if some bugs were fixed doesn't mean they ignored the death cheat bug, probably they were much easier to fix and throwing more people at the same problem only makes it get fixed faster up to a point where they get in the way of each other and assigning more people to the task is detrimental.

[deep fog]

They also may not actuslly know what causes it

Bugs with no reproducibility are notoriously difficult to figure out

[lofty parrot]

Doesnt matter if he is smaller
U see far more "human linings" which ppl will always recognize and discover way faster

it´s like a temu edition xD

[deep fog]

Bring back OG headsman imo

[bright plover]

That's a fair point tbh. But also why I love Drilling, being versatile in this game is a great attribute.

[deep fog]

I want my walking black trash bag to hide in dark corners

[lofty parrot]

True - never saw it ingame xD

[light sky]

Meh, maps and bosses are a momentary "wooow"

Took people 30 days to get tired of Mammon's Gulch.

[deep fog]

That's why you release community mapping tools and run community maps

[sinful aurora]

no problem!

[mild flower]

Sadly drilling/lemat aren't needed to be versatile right now because you can bring an auto 4 and a mosin and excel in every single situation 😭

[light sky]

Yeah, can't see that happening

[deep fog]

Same, sadly

But that would be I think a great way to do it

Its kept games like TF2 and CS going for agggees

[whole furnace]

I would like to see different Hunt people balance the game (including myself ofc)

[normal radish]

even before that you could have a romero hc which is the best hc anyway

[whole furnace]

Like what numbers that would get tweaaked

[tall canopy]

I mean that was for a whole other reason than the map itself 😄

[lofty parrot]

Even without qm

Honest question... which "idiots" with Shottys run over open field?
Rly... like u never have to the map has soooo much hiding and cover value

[deep fog]

I mean christ people still release doom2 wad packs nearly 30 years on

[mild flower]

Yes, but at least your shot could be baited which allowed for counterplay, and you had a meaningful spread increase for picking a sawnoff

[normal radish]

terminus levering, rival, practice?

these were added long before auto 4

[lofty parrot]

Try finding 5 people here and let them have a discussion about what counts as "long range" xDDD

Pretty hard to find common ground

[deep fog]

The romero handcannon used to be the only good handcannon period

[mild flower]

These aren't Romero but

Terminus levering took multiple shots to kill the majority of the time and people could fight back

Rival also usually needed two shots and also needs to reload after the second so after baiting one shot as long as you were past its very short one shot range you only needed to bait one shot

[short halo]

Nah it's fairly easy as long as they have a realistic idea of weapon engagement ranges

[normal radish]

it was and is the best hc

[deep fog]

The rival hc was usable with slugs but the spectre and terminus hc had such scuffed barrel lengths they were only lethal at like 3 metres

[mild flower]

Rival hc was decent with flechette too

[deep fog]

Romero hatchet hc is my go to secondary if im running a long gun tbh

Oh yeah, that was fun

[normal radish]

you said "baiting" you shot because it was a single shot, those were the counter arguement, and from what i remember they had a very good one tap potential, slightly lower than romero HC.

[deep fog]

Hit em with a fire martini or something then you spray em with the rival flechettes to kill em

[normal radish]

i can clearly remember being 1 tapped by baby terminus from 7-9 meters

[mild flower]

Nah before the hc buff, the one tap range on the majority of handcannons was pitiful

[mild flower]

Good rng or slugs maybe

[normal radish]

im talking after that, before that romero was probably the only usable thing

[lofty parrot]

But for real...

I´ve seen so many massages saying "uhh just snipe them when they are open" "just shot them when they run down the road"

rly... u guys have such... "players" in ur games?.. rly?
If yes pls send them to me

My enemies nearly always use cover, avoiding any roads or open fields, running left and right even with jumping sometimes so u cant pre aim a heashot well from a distance

[normal radish]

but still, even before that one shot kills werent uncommon

[mild flower]

Oh, well then we are talking about very different things. Whoops.

[normal radish]

just at 1-2 meters lower than what they happen now, maybe 3

[lofty parrot]

What exactly do u mean?

Cuz I discussed it with a few ppl here and some even said "long" range begins at 45m...

I just started laughing irl

[deep fog]

Shotgun players know how to move up in cover

[normal radish]

even at their lowest HC rival could 1 tap, but it was kinda uncommon

[deep fog]

Or they don't remain shotgun users very long

[lofty parrot]

Was it over 12m with normal ammo?

[deep fog]

All hcs can always one tap but the romero was the only one with enough range to make it more reliable than using the knife

[mild flower]

Which shotgun

The answer is no btw

[normal radish]

only HC before buff that could do +10 was romero on a good spread

[lavish moon]

More than that most shotgun players will camp until you fall asleep. And even worse than that is that everyone and their mother are running small shotguns which are way overbuffed and not healthy for the game. So pushing a compound is really horrible right now and sitting outside of it is incredibly boring.

[deep fog]

Take poltergeist

Open doors

Chuck in nades

[lofty parrot]

Then i dont get ur statement there.
It´s still 12m OHKO for every shotty there is
Was it shorter before?

[normal radish]

you ALSO have access to the same loadouts, you can bring rifles and shotguns, if you are in a stalemate, you are ONE SIDE OF IT.

[lofty parrot]

Oh... can we PLS reverse dat buff

[lavish moon]

The shotgun buffs are what slowly but surely killed my enjoyment for the game.

[mild flower]

This helps, but not an insane amount

[normal radish]

i do kinda agree that HC buffs were a bit OVERTUNED

[mild flower]

Yes. Shotguns got buffed really heavily in 2.0

[whole furnace]

That is why I want to see a community driven game where people do their own balance modsd

[normal radish]

cqc has always been in hunt, if after 8 years you still cant compete in this apsect then, step up your game i guess?

[lavish moon]

The thing is. I don't like playing that way. So I just fucking don't. People leaving the game is probably not the best outcome for the game.

[lofty parrot]

So u say
Even if u dislike the weapon type - just take it so u can push on "equal" terms
And if u do not - u r part of the reason why they camp

Is dat right?...

[normal radish]

so you are gatekeeping fun for other people. some people love cqc

[mild flower]

Imo CQC was more fun before shotgun buffs

[normal radish]

the playing field is even, like a chess board. if you lose, what do you think is the cause

[lofty parrot]

Help me out there
What u mean with HC?

[mild flower]

Shorty shotgun

It's an acronym for handcannon, the old name for them

[lofty parrot]

No wonder why I "felt" like its even worse than before...

[lavish moon]

Don't come at me sideways like that. I can compete. It just blows. It's not fun. I play the game for fun. I'm not some chump who sits in bushes the whole game. Pushing is what me and my friends do (as 6 stars, before I get another get good comment).

Shotguns are just way to strong now compared to the rest of the arsenal. But that's just my opinion. If this is the game Crytek is offering. I just will not play it that much.

[normal radish]

hmm can be argued, but still HC shotties arent the prime threats in cqc anyways, but they ARE overtuned for what they are

[mild flower]

If not them, what do you think are the prime threats?

[deep fog]

I mean

Most compounds are much more open now

With much more openingd

[normal radish]

aight, how can a shotgun compete against a rifle, in a +20 meter compound fight?

[normal radish]

arbalest and long barrel shotguns and bow

[deep fog]

The days of 3 guys with shotguns holding the only three entrances in a brick building are over

[lofty parrot]

The problem is they ONLY play for cqc
There is no mixing or anything like dat
9 out of 10 games play exactly the same with camping in close range within compound...

[normal radish]

funny thing i heard the EXACT comment about long range rifle players

a lotta times lol

[lavish moon]

CQC was more fun before shotguns. People actually engaged with rifles and pistols. Now every shotgun is a death canon that can one-tap from 12 meters (10m for small ones). The only times shotguns were more oppressive is with original slugs which was also horrible, but at least that took more skill.

[deep fog]

Shotguns have been in the game since launch...?

The classic "im poor" loadout was a romero and caldwell conversion

And just push

[lofty parrot]

WHY should there be a +20m fight inside compound?
When u have time to shot - u have time to jump inside 4 walls as shotty player
U just dont have to fight this

[normal radish]

death canon can be a nagant landing a headshot too right? technically if you count in skill rifles and pistol outperform shotguns since they can land headshots further. the shotguns are almost useless in long range combat, but they make up for it in cqc.

[lavish moon]

By using their mosin. Or I don't know. Like you people always say: Not engaging outside the preferred range of your weapons 🤪

You know pistols are pretty good at midrange right?

[normal radish]

keeping your range from something that can kill you is very logical thing to do no?

[mild flower]

The thing with long barrel shotguns is you know they're at a disadvantage at range, so you can just fight them there. Bow is crazy, I agree, but it takes much more skill to aim for a ohk and it can be baited much more easily.

What is an arbalest? Chu ko nu?

[lofty parrot]

Like I said earlier - how many long ammo/long range players are there per game and how many shotty cqc players per game?

The comparision is not even close.... soooooo many more shottys every damn match

[normal radish]

yes but are they on par with rifles, especiall with the myriad of high fire rate ones

[bronze patrol]

100%

Before you got some tense shotgun duels, now it's one taps 8/10 times, sometimes trading, and that's the end of the cqc

[drifting dove]

yo.... i didnt know choke bombs can one shot fire brute

[normal radish]

not really, tbf i find them both on equal footing. i assume that i need fight at MY guns best range, not my enemies

[lofty parrot]

Exactly!!!
So why should there be a fight then as shotty players?
Just avoid it or end it quick
U never have to fight it at +20m

[mild flower]

The answer is yes. All rifles and pocket shotguns. Both.

[lavish moon]

Bad faith argument. I'm done with this. You're talking around the problem. Shotguns in close range are so oppressive that engaging them becomes suicidal, killing any gameplay on the spot. Shotguns killed CQC battles.

Besides my biggest gripe is the qm small shotgun builds

Which was my original point. That made every CQC battle a shotgun fest

[light sky]

Crazy that shotguns are good at close range, huh

[normal radish]

to me (no offense intended) is that you just need practice in cqc, thats all i guess. cause shotguns are by no means a death sentence in my experience

[bronze patrol]

this, people pulling a one tapping stick of death instead of a revolver has killed any enjoyement I had on close fights

[lofty parrot]

within the last 5 games I had 1 Krag and 1 Mosin ingame (as far as i could see)
Dats it
But every game had +5 shotties

[bronze patrol]

then you are playing against trash players

[mild flower]

Yeah, give them an inverted damage falloff

Shotguns will be the new snipers

[normal radish]

ah yes of course

[light sky]

Irl shotguns can rekt you at 50 meters

[radiant karma]

I dunno but I beat plenty of shotguns with nagant precision fanning but I do agree that 2-slot shotguns are a little but too good, often making me question why I would take the 3-slit version. Then again mosin obrez is also pretty much a 2-slot rifle with near 3-slot potential so I dunno 😶

[bronze patrol]

we simply don't have the maps for realistic ranges

[rose elm]

Bugged lemat vibes...

[lofty parrot]

Sadly he is absolutely right
If u dont play it the same way u r always at disadvantage in cqc

[light sky]

It's just balance choices actually

[radiant karma]

Yeah but 50 metere in this game is like way further range irl imo

[lofty parrot]

Difference between good and "too good" huh?

[bronze patrol]

You can call it apples if you want, it's a balance choice because the maps are not 2 square kilometers, and rifles don't have long ranges to actually play at "long" range

[normal radish]

and its funny that death range for shotguns is WELL BELOW many other items in the game. i think its the new "LETS BITCH ABOUT THIS THING TILL IT GETS SCARCE" trend in hunt lol. always something with players in this game

[lavish moon]

Yeah but you're insulting my ability to play the game. Shotguns in the hands of good players are a death sentence within 10m 9/10. You don't know me and you don't know how well I play or how much experience I have. You're assuming that I say these things because I'm bad rather than looking at the actual issues they cause at every skill level.

[lofty parrot]

OLD Pellet shotguns?
nope 100% not

[radiant karma]

I think distances in game are never super accurate to irl simple because you don't look at a game world the same way you look at the world irl. Like how doors in games are always bigger than they are irl and stuff

[normal radish]

you seemed to be raging at the matter, i kinda assumed tbf. sorry if i ruffled some feathers

[rose elm]

Remove the hit marker and sound. Problem solved for all ranges 😄

[normal radish]

ah yes, they did

[radiant karma]

If you nake a game world to irl scale it will look weird

[light sky]

Anything in good players hand can rekt you. Also keep the discussion respectful.

[bronze patrol]

that benefits shotguns more than rifles

[short halo]

100% yes
Turkey hunters regularly reach out that far for example

It's all in the choke

[bronze patrol]

turkey hunters aren't using shotguns from the 1800s

[short halo]

Not a lot has changed in the technology

[normal radish]

rifles: can engage at ANY range, can 1 tap head, higher velocity, PENETRATION kills
shotguns; better cqc
surely it seems shotguns are better

[rose elm]

"Why didn't he die, I clearly hit him with my shotgun!"

[lavish moon]

If you've liked a game since 2018 and you are not enjoying it anymore because of balance choices, is it wrong to complain about them? I just give my 2 cents in a discussion that was already ongoing.

[bronze patrol]

Tolerances in fabrication were absolutely wild in the 1800s which has a big impact on precision

[lofty parrot]

Tell me 😄
Which item has a higher OHKO range than 12m? ;DDD

Beside headshots

[light sky]

Nitro

[normal radish]

i have been playing hunt since day 0 and i still enjoy the game because i fully understand its a flow not a rigid state of the game.

[normal radish]

nitro bow arbalest throwing spear

[light sky]

Arrows, bolts

[short halo]

Precision isnt all that big a deal with shotguns tbf

[lavish moon]

Good for you?

I don't?

[bronze patrol]

are you trolling me?

[normal radish]

i can tell he isnt

he stated facts

[light sky]

Heathen doesn't troll, speak facts

[bronze patrol]

you can't say precision doens't matter and then tell me modern shotguns have the same kill range as 1800s shotguns

[normal radish]

besides just search the internet on how shotguns shells work,

[light sky]

On the other hand, I do a lil trolling here and there

[normal radish]

the old bass shells contained more grain

and they COULD be rifled

sooo

yeh

[short halo]

Didnt say they were the same. I said old shotguns could reach 50m

[normal radish]

they were fking accurate up to 50 meters

[short halo]

The effectiveness at those ranges are largely due to the choke

[radiant karma]

I wish bomblance was more like irl bomblance tho

[bronze patrol]

choke we don't have, at all

[short halo]

Which is just how narrow the end of the barrel is

[mild flower]

You want bomb lance to be even worse?

[normal radish]

funny thing, choke is 19th century thng

[normal radish]

LAWL bro just inspect romero

the baseline skin

12 GAUGE CHOKE

[radiant karma]

Should blow up in your face 50% of the time unless you find weapon oil

But no I love bomblance

[radiant karma]

Now we just need to combine bomblance and cho ku nu

[sinful aurora]

bombu nu

[lofty parrot]

Rifle: Have to fast aim for head
Shotty: Halfway off the body and still OHKO

Yeaaaah suuure

[radiant karma]

Yeah!

[radiant karma]

Just hold dynamite bundle and surefoot charge at shotgun user

Easy kill

[bronze patrol]

@normal radish @short halo Anywhere I look, from old magazines to specialized weapon sites, old shotguns with uckshot are stated to have an eeffective range of 10–30 yards (9–27 m)

so you can both keep stating it's twice as much, but I'lll assume is made up in your minds

[normal radish]

i donno for which "game" they stated that but from personal use and experience with old shotguns, its defintely effective against birds, medium game and humans up to 50 range, 12 gauage non magnum grain

[lofty parrot]

Explosive bolts ez bulwark no OHKO
And rly... spear?.... what is harder to hit?
A pin point speak over 12m with a throw animation OR a 12m OHKO spreak which can be aimed half off the Body and still kill?

Yeah no

[normal radish]

explosive bolts werent even mentioned lol, and technically spear has higher ohk range yes and u forgot the nitro and bow

no yeh

[lofty parrot]

Why? I said it multiple times
In cqc u nealry dont even have to aim with shottys

Just today I had the weekly for the Rival
I dd 738 dmg in 2 Rounds in cqc without even aiming for right and the enemies... just stuuupid

[normal radish]

they had an average of 40-70 yards if i equal it to freedom unit

HELL I FORGOT PUNT GUN

just search PUNT gun

[lofty parrot]

Not 19th centuries and especially not buckshot
The spead and the firepower compared to what we know today is another level

Early Shotguns with any sort of pellet wern´t deadly to humans over 20-30m

[lofty parrot]

And still u need some aim for them
Nitro is strong af BUT it has low ammo and is expensive

[lofty parrot]

Yeah... a gun to big to be carried... clever

[deep fog]

Gatling punt gun as hunter weapon when

[astral moss]

Avto: exist.

[deep fog]

That fires rifle rounds, not 4 bore shotgun shells

[astral moss]

Yes, like a gatling.

[deep fog]

But not like a punt gun

[lime mural]

How is this guy's KD is so high while the account is new?

[radiant karma]

Equip no weapon and you can punt all day

[fathom shale]

Having high KDA is easier the newer the account is

And becomes harder to maintain the longer you play on the account

[spare lark]

[empty eagle]

No

But it's got a bug

So sometimes yes

:/

[spare lark]

mhm

[empty eagle]

It's not supposed to

[spare lark]

I insta revived and was as surprised as the guy that killed me. But if it's known issue I guess I don't have to file a bug report

[median charm]

I am new to the game, any tips?

[empty eagle]

Get used to dying. Play how you want. A fun fight is a w even if you lose

Play lance

Uh

Hm

[spare lark]

always have something for close and long range, and pick your battles

[median charm]

does the hunter matter? From what I can tell its basically just a skin or am I dumb?

[spare lark]

also half of the rifles in game are unplayabel without iron eye perk

[spare lark]

skin. but paid ones start with 10 perk points

[deep fog]

10 perk points is usually enough to get a weapon build together

[median charm]

Okay, cool I got ghostface as I am a big fan and basically own him in everything I have

[deep fog]

Eg iron eye or levering or whatever

Yeah so buying a hunter with that skin will cost 100 hunt bucks each time

[median charm]

Mr Draw, whats that react for? Do I need to go cry?

[open edge]

You got the most controversial skin in the game 😂

[empty eagle]

Play the hunter you wanna. People just have opinions about the IP hunters

[median charm]

oh 🤣 why is he controversial?

[open edge]

Some people say he doesnt suit the game

[drifting dove]

is there a secret to get lots of blood bonds or is it just $

[spare lark]

cuz it breaks the 4th wall, between the very established tone of the game and pop culture

and people including me don't like it

[median charm]

Soooo if I kill people and they see that skin, most likely they will be even more mad I killed them?

[deep fog]

Correct

[spare lark]

far more likely people including random teammates are going to bully you

[median charm]

that explaines some of the random team damage I have gotten

[spare lark]

I wouldn't do that, but I'm not surprised

[median charm]

why doesn't ghostface fit into lore? Ghostface can be anyone just with a mask

[spare lark]

cope

It's not some random mask, it's well established

outside of the game

[amber escarp]

does anyone know why hunt-stats is down for a while now?

[wheat pilot]

90% of the time, don't re-peek the same angle if you miss / tag without killing. Especially in obvious spots like a window or a doorway.

[median charm]

I get its well established outside, but like ghostface is just the mask, proven by each movie having a different killer but still ghostface. I am not meaning to be annoying just curious as that's what ghostface is. Don't wanna anger people just curious is all

[spare lark]

most of the people didn't even see those movies

[coarse reef]

They liked ghostface from hunt showdown so much they made movies about him

[spare lark]

it also isn't a popculture-driven game like any other I can think of that sells skins

[spare lark]

People just don't like it; you have that dense established immersive world that somehow managed to dodge a lot of boring tropes; they kinda nailed it. And then you see a mask for a comedy movie, and it takes you out of that experience

[median charm]

I take offence to the "comedy movie" section of that. Scream isn't a comedy movie. Scary Movie is which is a spoof of horror movies at the time. (no actual offence)

[spare lark]

yeah but scary movie is bigger than scream no?

[coarse reef]

I run around with a pumpkin on my head

[icy bay]

https://tenor.com/view/pumpkins-pumpkin-pumpkinhead-rrrpumpkinhead-gif-12357201644088892049

[median charm]

Depends, I feel scream is bigger than scary movie mainly because the first scream movie was so big, Scary movie made the first movie a whole spoof of the first scream. which is what most people remember about Scary movie. no one remembers the sequels. But from where I am from and locally Scream is much bigger. I think Scary movie had a bigger impact Pop-culturaly due to the WASSUUUUUUUUUUUP scene but overall ghost face is remembered from his own movies.

[median charm]

where is that hunter?

[spare lark]

Maybe I'm full of shit then idk

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1412312843822301294/1412530271730925618/needy-streamer-overload-smoking.gif

Regardless of that

It is something not native to the hunt world

And that annoys people

Some probably more than it should

[median charm]

I get people may have a gripe with the skin, and valid if lore really contradicts it, but ghost face is a different killer in each movie just wearing the same costume and weapons until scream 7 when one used a shotgun.

I think they have a habit of re releasing them now

After like a year or so

[raven totem]

scream is dlc

[spare lark]

We talking about pumpkin guy

[raven totem]

the pumpkin guy was one of the last mythics

will not be rereleased as is

[coarse reef]

Will have to be a different gourd

[spare lark]

Wasn't that one officer a mythic too, and got re-release, For cheaper...

[raven totem]

who know, there's a lot of mythics it all depends on how crytek wants to address it

[raven totem]

?

[queen shore]

only gator hunters got rereleased and they were free before

[raven totem]

the only mythics they rereleased as different skins where the quest rewards

[icy bay]

The pumpin guys was that a dou or trio skin combo ?

[raven totem]

[spare lark]

Devils advocate was from battle pass no?

[raven totem]

nope

[queen shore]

no its winter hunter

hes just seasonal

same with scroodge

Devils advocate is a good skin

[coarse reef]

[icy bay]

I miss My old headsmen

[spare lark]

Ehhh... Let me check, it was one of those winter/chrismas skins I think, originally for 1000BB

[raven totem]

with hunts lighting it rarely rarely matters

[raven totem]

what you're alluding to has never happened. Like I said, the only mythics that got "relreased" as new skins where the quest ones

in the last year passes have been handing out legendaries, and those have been slowly rereleased as buyable bb skins typically about a year after

so far

[grave rose]

What's we talkin bout

[spare lark]

Widow's Bounty was the name. It was for 1000bb originally. And it came back around the Christmas for 600

It was WINTER SOLSTICE skin

[spare lark]

I don't hate penny shot being way too strong to what it is... It makes little sense, but without it, You could never run shotgun less lodout

kinda killed most flex weapons in my eyes, like drilling

[median charm]

so shotguns are good for close, whats good for range?

I like the look of Haymaker and Uppercut

[spare lark]

everything that shoots bullets

mostly long ammo

[median charm]

is the Romero 77 a nice shotgun?

[spare lark]

kind of

it gets the job done

but you have one shot

[chilly crag]

longest 1 shot range i believe but slow on the chamber so hard to use in team fights

[bronze ruin]

Long ammo rifles/pistols, though I wouldn't try to counter snipe with an uppercut, sparks pistol or haymaker

You'll just end up wasting your limited ammo pool, hold fire for compound-long gunfights

😌

[deep fog]

Romero has the tightest spread and the longest range

It'll one tap reliably up to 15m

You can always outrange another shotgun with it, but yeah, it is slow to reload

[spare lark]

Haymaker is kinda cool, cuz you get reliable long ammo that doesn't require any perks

[deep fog]

But! There is no greater feeling than absolutely annihilating someone with a romero and you check their body and they're running a 2250 dollar avtomat dolch build

Haymaker is a great second weapon to go with crossbow

[spare lark]

@median charm Marathon is kinda cool for newbies, cuz it's easy to control, mostly reliable up to like 90m, and hip fire on it is nasty, I would run that + something silenced

[median charm]

Perfect, thanks for the advice

[frail onyx]

Haymaker fanning supremacy

[frail onyx]

There’s none of us left we all fucking died

[deep fog]

Once you get the marathon swift its a straight upgrade so switch to that btw

Has a speedload so reloads hella quick

[frail onyx]

Low-key people what’s the meta rn

[spring mauve]

it’s cool but the Specter kinda does the same thing with more shots and is also pretty cheap

[deep fog]

Spectre has slightly shorter range doesnt it? Or did they change that

[zealous gale]

where is the mod

thingy

[spring mauve]

maybe by like a meter but it’s still a long range menace

[zealous gale]

where I can submit something for discord mod

[frail onyx]

[frail onyx]

The mod of the server?

[spring mauve]

• like lowkey same fire rate as the slate

[deep fog]

Slate fires faster im pretty sure

[frail onyx]

You should rename yourself big daddy bayou

[deep fog]

Slate is like 60 rpm and spectre is I think like 45

[compact sinew]

There needs to be more incentive to prestige

i mean it sucks for those who already did but still

In that case

Wouldnt hunting be hunt related bcuz u hunt players and boss targets in hunt and in irl hunting u hunt animals and in hunt theres animals too so like pretty similar righttttt

[frank nova]

[twin galleon]

im in a lobby the last player is in a tower

how do we kill him

the floor is metal we cant wallbang

we have no nades

any ideas

[tall canopy]

leave

[empty eagle]

Beetle

Leave

Frag bow

Flare gun party

[terse wasp]

Why does Clash just feel like Romero simulator?

[tall canopy]

cause most just use free hunters to not spend any money

[whole furnace]

The game used to make you wanna die even more.

[terse wasp]

I just committed a +20meter axe murder. I found it in the mine. LOL

[deep ginkgo]

Arc raiders open beta is available now on steam

[whole furnace]

Become unmade!

[twin galleon]

guys how it is possible he has 13 smoke bombs

ong this guy thre at least 0 smokebombs

9

[scenic plinth]

thanks berserker, the best perk in alll of hoont showdown

[twin galleon]

he was stuck in a tower btw

how is it possible someone stuck in a tower with no lootables has 12 smokebombs

[scenic plinth]

solo with catalyst and frontiersman, so like 5 chokes, then 4 choke beatles makes 9, add a tool box and you get 2 more chokes

[whole furnace]

Think allowing in-world weapons to be thrown by default is great, that said, think they need to scale down the damage done to bosses slightly.

[scenic plinth]

a beetle may spawn at the bast of the tower so thats 2 more (assuming he has packmule)

[twin galleon]

wow have you no shame though

is that like a common strat

to go up in the tower with 13 smoke bombs

[deep fog]

Yes

[scenic plinth]

no but its some epic cheese

[cosmic tide]

Hey so i'm a little confused and just need confirmation on something
I bought the new vinyl through the link in General-announcements
Though i found vinyls of similar type, from hunt, by crytek, that only are for USA
Is this the same with the Limited edition?

[dense girder]

Forgot how much I love the Drilling

[twin galleon]

he highkey got slammed though

[deep fog]

Normally you take as many smoke bombs as possible for the memes

[twin galleon]

but it was crazy i threw like 6 firebombs 3 concertina mines

and he survived all that and i had to get boosted to kill him from below

[deep fog]

Howd you have 6 firebombs and 3 concertina

[twin galleon]

we went to all the compounds for lootables

all the surrounding compounds

while my friends held him

[deep fog]

Ngl i would of just left him and gone

And then shot him later

[whole furnace]

I wish I could help you, but think you need to contact support on Crytek's website :)

[twin galleon]

hell naw

[scenic plinth]

alternatively, he could have also had a choke handcrossbow with an ammo box

[cosmic tide]

Okay, thanks

[deep ginkgo]

Arc raiders free now for everyone on steam and console go play it

[deep ginkgo]

Arent you an extraction shooter guy

[whole furnace]

Sure, but we talkin' about Arc Raiders, no reason to shill for the widely anticipated game lmao

[dense girder]

Thanks! Always wanted to give it a shot

[fresh turret]

So what's this urgent call to action mean?

[dense girder]

Didn't knew you could play it for free atm

[granite blade]

hell yea

[fresh turret]

what's it mean!?

[inner light]

Interesting.

[copper pawn]

how many bullets in a head do you need to kill someone?

[whole furnace]

Most likely that we need to kill a morbillion spiders

[granite blade]

im guessing we have to kill a certain amount of weavers in order to unlock tier'd rewards

[whole furnace]

Depends on the color of their armor vs the color of your gun :)))))

[fresh turret]

I suppose we all kill a few spiders every match without encouragement

[light sky]

Is as ther crow flies all over again

[copper pawn]

fucking apex all over again

[light sky]

as the bileweaver webs

[inner light]

Whole server comes together on the same team? 12 man COOP?

[granite blade]

oh so arc is just armor slop

[fervent ravine]

Bilweaver roaming boss??

[hazy crest]

They need something to keep players engaged

[granite blade]

so you mean OCE server?

[whole furnace]

Imagine, just a swarm of 25-35 spiders shuffling about, you can know they are nearing when your lose 10-20 fps lmao

[fervent ravine]

Classic hunt

[random nimbus]

[ancient mango]

I reported a player because after the boss ban he killed his friends. I want to know what is needed to ban him from the hunt.

[terse wasp]

Ban this man for not minding his own business. I killed my friends because they deserved it.

[ancient mango]

tenho o video

[granite blade]

were they on your team?

if not then just leave it be. accidents happen way too often to be assuming whats going on in another team

[whole mist]

Lmao why is there a shrimp emoji

🦐

[deep fog]

Please i need more events where you have to not play the game and fastidiously harvest macguffins around the map

[fathom shale]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[deep fog]

Im so glad that hunt is jumping in on this again

Cant wait for trios of people with dual hand crossbow and firebolts

[whole mist]

🫵 🦐 get shrimped!

[granite blade]

!report

[graceful hedge]

If you would like to report a player, you can do so on the Team Details tab in your Last Mission section on the home page. Select the player -> Open Profile -> Report. It is also accessible in the Last Match tab at any time. If you have additional proof you would like to provide, you can find out how to reach out to official support here: #customer-support

**Please note that you can still report people even if you don't have their SteamID or cannot open their profile by providing your own SteamID, time of the incident with a time zone and region on the Hunt Showdown website (link is in the in the Customer Support channel). **

**Hiding statistics/profiles does not prevent reporting. **

[granite blade]

crytek will take it more seriously if you report through the site when it comes to teamkills

[ancient mango]

I have a video proving that he killed for no reason.

[granite blade]

because im sure there are alot of friends that report each other for tk just for fun :v

so if you go through the site, crytek will know its serious

[crystal bay]

I don't know if they necessarily go as far as reporting

but friends do TK a lot

[granite blade]

i cant remember if it was twitch chat or here but i remember someone saying they do it all the time with their friends

[crystal bay]

Interesting choice, but I don't doubt there are people that do that

Just not wise on their part lmao

Extract shenanigans happen

[granite blade]

either way, reporting through the site will probably get an action out of crytek faster than just reporting in-game

[granite blade]

my last game 2 days ago was with randoms and we all extracted with 1 hp because of red skull revives on extract :v

[fallow pelican]

fix your fucking game

[granite blade]

i see nothing wrong

[fallow pelican]

go get your brain checked

[granite blade]

3 different 3 star teams

[granite blade]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-pee-cat-pee-funny-lmfao-gif-14727908981812019274

[torpid egret]

the mmr rating weighs heavier towards group leader so prolly had the 2 star as host

[fallow pelican]

yeah, if so fix the game

[light sky]

not really

[granite blade]

nah its because they are on a losing streak

they have been playing on the level of a 3 star on average for their team

[light sky]

it takes the whole team's mmr despite who's the leader

[torpid egret]

didnt think they had the mmr programmed to account for losing streaks

[light sky]

people deep in 6 stars could have a 1 star as lobby host and still be dragged to 6 star lobbies

[granite blade]

yea when they finally win, that match mmr will go up fast

[ancient mango]

He was a random guy who pulled the game, he killed his two friends and extracted it with the bount solo

[torpid egret]

so a reactive mmr then

[granite blade]

report on the site with the video

[ancient mango]

I have a clip, I'm going to report it

[full jungle]

[ancient mango]

thx

[light sky]

There's a confidence feature within the MMR, depending on how much you kill/win matches basically

or lose them. But afaik that's just to drop or increase your MMR not for Matchmaking.

[unique trail]

KILL SPIDERS

[granite blade]

people just look at personal stars and assume there is something broken when the real thing they should be looking at is the match mmr

[unique trail]

Do you think we need to hunt spiders for the event

[fallow pelican]

ill go get a account on a second pc and then ill have him as 1 start and roam the game with me being 6 and a friend being 6 fighting against 3 star ppl, easyer than soloing then huh

[terse wasp]

u rn

[granite blade]

crytek should now just remove personal mmr and only have match mmr

[full jungle]

I hope not

But probably

[unique trail]

Rip

[scenic plinth]

time for some vengeance, fire handcrossbow and fire winnie with levering

[dreamy cave]

Inferno would sure help cleanse the map

[deep fog]

I hope we have to kill spiders with specific dmg types so everyone takes trash loadouts and doesn't actually pldy

Teams of trios with baseball bat and fire hand crossbow to farm spiders as quickly as possible and once they've farmed them all suicide with dynamite to get to next farm session quicker than extracting

I joke but this is what i saw people doing in as the crow flies and it fuckin sucked

[empty eagle]

God I miss the fire

Pls

[left orbit]

you’re spelling "double xbow dragonbreath" wrong

also levering with fire? go full fmj bruh

[deep fog]

I loved getting the fire heals you trait as a solo and playing like a gobshite in the burning areas

[dreamy cave]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/401019644938289153/1354084522521530409/20250325_082557.gif

[dense girder]

Why does the Drilling Hatchet have a worse reload speed thant he none-hatched 2 slot Drilling?

[drifting dove]

do i keep the homestead after wipe?

[dense girder]

Oh, then I just didn't notice before Ig

[dense girder]

Wdym wipe? Prestige, no

[drifting dove]

no like the battle pass ending

[low raptor]

when crytek will finally return the rest of the hunters that we had as paid option

I want this player skin too

[icy elbow]

I want her back

[strong moon]

bayou luigi I miss

[dreamy cave]

Yes

[dusty palm]

hmm there seems to be increased of voice chat bug, I can't speak nor hear from team mates which sucks cause info in a random team is important zzz

Are there any similar problems happening to you guys or nah

damn

or is it an asia server thing

hmmm can't really conclude anything other than bad luck

I did checked and its not muted

and I have the same settings for multiple rounds already and can voice chat , then just suddenly can't

damn

wait how old

Damn

that is like before I play this I think

[dreamy cave]

It happened once right after a recent update. I just reset all my audio settings (flicked them off and on) and restarted my game and I was all good.

[dusty palm]

ah I see thanks

but it resurface sometimes

[dreamy cave]

Hunt always has voip bugs but its been pretty good to me for awhile.

[dusty palm]

this is the second time I got it

[dreamy cave]

Im not sure then

[dusty palm]

first time was last week I think

[dreamy cave]

Did you check windows audio stuff?

[dusty palm]

3 games no Voice chat

[dusty palm]

hmmm how does that work? Im talking with my friend in discord no problem

[dreamy cave]

Does your voice indicator come up when you talk?

[dusty palm]

nope, no blue mic pop up, can't hear team mates too

[dreamy cave]

Does it show both indicators when you prox chat?

[dusty palm]

never used prox chat before so I do not know on that part

[deep ginkgo]

Omg arc raiders is so fun wth

[dusty palm]

I only used team chat

[dreamy cave]

Im not sure then

[dusty palm]

but I do know I don't see any other team proximity chat

[dreamy cave]

Try the flicking off and on and see what happens other than that idk

[dusty palm]

but that is about it

I think just relaunch

last time I shut off hunt and second day it works normally again

[low raptor]

and singleplayer missions aaaaaaaand hunt encyclopedia (the lore book)

[dusty palm]

This is some SFM spaggeti code moment lol

[dreamy cave]

I know at one point awhile ago. You had to go in and flick your mic choice off and on

[dusty palm]

ah welp, all games sometime have some bugs

[dusty palm]

ouh

[dreamy cave]

So i figured it the same thing it worked for me

[dusty palm]

I only remember last time the HUD name keep turning the player name to "Unknown Player" and I had to go to setting and switch it back

[spark plaza]

amogus

[dense girder]

Jeez the Centennial silencer shorty with HV is amazing

Such a good pair with DumDum Drilling I love it

[low raptor]

it is still doing it

[sick temple]

It is a "hotkey" that was poorly done

Dont press TAB while killed/expectating

And no, you cannot change it in settings since it doesnt appear as a keybind

Again dont ask why this was implemented or who called for it so badly it was put in covertly and done so fast (in my opinion, countless of bugs are more important than adding this "feature"), but nobody knows

[dusty palm]

damn

[whole furnace]

Me: "Damn, I got wooped badly last fight, but I might manage to get hideout for a full restore before the next team rolls in!"
The mischievous spider:

https://tenor.com/view/spider-dance-gif-25206331

[crystal bay]

Too true

It's not even the spiders necessarily rolling me, it's when I'm avoiding them and then the eggs explode on me from some random direction

[dense girder]

That's why shadow is one of my fav traits this event

Funny to fight people in the nest when the spiders are on your side lol

[tawny depot]

Be playing me pirate build

Nichols prison

Someone above me on the stairs, blast them through the wooden floor

One shot too, dunno if it went to head or they lost a bar tho

If I use FMJ I can punch through thin stone walls right?

Super risky for ammo then though

[icy elbow]

I do not believe FMJ goes through any stone walls

Spitzer might on the edges, shredder does, to a degree

[tawny depot]

Those thin bricks ones I think it can

Ah

[icy elbow]

FMJ can go through metal sheets

how many layers depends on the ammo type

[left orbit]

bro on the left eradicated the whole trio in like 5 shots lmao

[tawny depot]

Cain back at it with the camo again

[left orbit]

we were both cains, the 3rd had to leave right at round start. i said "f-it let's fight"
i wiped the first trio, he wiped the last one XD

[bright plover]

I'm not even sure if anyone that discussed Bounty Clash with me is still here even, but to continue that topic a little bit, I think I found a way to make this mode more enjoyable.

I take Surefoot, run towards the boss, use stamina shot + regen shot while running, banish immediately, kill 2-3 people at most, scan, run to the exit that doesn't have people camping it and viola. The game took 4:16, here are the results. Much less infuriating than having to push a rat camping with a shotgun, since I'm almost always that rat instead (unless I meet someone on my way to the bounty, then it gets complicated), and I don't deal with long ammo, since they just refuse to chase I guess? Idk, it's been only 3 games of this playstyle, but I've had strong success with it.

[left orbit]

ur argument iz invalid because u misspelled "voilà"

jk nice one actually

[bright plover]

I still prefer Bounty Hunt, but I'd imagine this playstyle is the most time efficient way to get exp and dollars. Plus PVP experience, although as I said before, I think Bounty Clash brings out the worst in people, both shotgun users and long ammo users.

And from my (very limited) experience the exits spawn on the opposite ends of the map, more or less, so unless literally the whole lobby is bushwanking, I can just extrac.t

[tall canopy]

@south shore jumbo apple cat plees

[bright plover]

Nvm someone was faster. Whoops. I guess it needs some polishing and map knowledge.

I guess the strat relies on RNG to get a good spawn. Shiet. Well back to BH for now.
